The science of pneumatic systems and automation is currently a rapidly developing branch of engineering, with an ever-expanding field of application. Many problems of partial or complete automation are solved directly and satisfactorily using pneumatic principles. This basic training book on pneumatic systems ensures gradual learning for the trainee, with a methodical approach, progressive difficulty, while simultaneously providing knowledge of the operation and applications of the main pneumatic components and mechanisms. It includes basic concepts and elements, with application examples in an effort to progressively introduce, as simply as possible, the truly critical field of Pneumatics.[...]
